this zine is saving my life right now. its good to put your personal situations in a larger context and i know that i am not alone. so many people temping in offices where it is hard to get a hold on what is happening. people i work with now at least treat me well, but there is an uneasy feeling. i am not really one of them. i am here on a short term basis. i am a temporary part of the team. all because the institution is too stingy to give me a full time position. why bother when you can avoidthis zine is saving my life right now. its good to put your personal situations in a larger context and i know that i am not alone. so many people temping in offices where it is hard to get a hold on what is happening. people i work with now at least treat me well, but there is an uneasy feeling. i am not really one of them. i am here on a short term basis. i am a temporary part of the team. all because the institution is too stingy to give me a full time position. why bother when you can avoid paying benefits. but i ask you, isn't there a decrease in the quality of work? it doesn't seem efficient to have to constantly re-train people and on top of that, people who are not fully committed to the company and therefore produce lower quality work or slack off because they don't actually feel invested in what they are doing. for example, here i am on good reads when i could be doing much more efficient work. why bother when i am a temp slave...might as well surf the net......more

I like book compilations of zines I like. This book made me laugh so hard I almost cried. I was reading it at the bus stop on the way to a stupid job and some lady stared at me and I was like "you know what, this book is really funny!" and then I kept laughing. Sometimes at that stupid job (or the stupid job before it), I would put it in my purse and take really long bathroom breaks. Once this horrible co-worker I had heard me laughing in the bathroom and she yelled "what are jou doing in theeeeI like book compilations of zines I like.

Whatever. Pointless story short, this book is great, read it at your temp job, it will make them nervous and mad at you....more

YES this is the best book ever if you have ever been a whore- I mean, temp. Reading this makes me angry and happy all at once, and then I want to go out and fuck shit up. I especially like the prank where you make 200 photocopies of a pen and then put the photocopies in the paper tray- the company will think there is a pen trapped in the copier and spend tons of money on repairs. Mwa ha ha ha!!!!
